MYRON JOSIAH CASWELL, OF CASTALIA, OHIO.

SPRINKLER-NOZZLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 458,014, dated August 18, 1891. Application led May 27, 1891. Serial No. 394,315. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, MYRON JosIAH CAS- WELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Castalia, in the county of Erie and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sprinkler-Nozzles, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in sprinklers; and the invention consists in the peculiar construction of a sprinkler-nozzle, all as more fully hereinafter described.

In the drawing, the figure represents my invention in vertical central longitudinal section. l

My'invention is especially designed to be used in distributing liquid poison upon potato-vines, grape-vines, &c., and is designed to sprinkle the liquid with the least possible amount of loss of solid matter and without danger of clogging up of the nozzle, and also to provide means for giving varying eifects in the spray, both as to evenness and direction.

A is a supply-pipe from any source of liquid-supply, to the outer end of which is secured my nozzle, which consists of the following parts:

a is a nipple screw-threaded to receive the end of the supply-pipe A either upon its inner or outer face. This nipple is provided with a circumferential ange b at its forward end, with which the lange c on the coupling cl is adapted to engage. This coupling is interiorly screw-threaded and engages with the tubular portion c of the nozzle B. Between the nipple a and the tubular portion e of the nozzle are the washers f, between which is clamped the screen or sieve g, held rmly in position by the clamping effect of the coupling d.

h is a chamber formed in the nozzle in rear of the wall t'. This wall is provided with a discharge-aperture j, preferably arranged in the center thereof and leading from the chamber h into the chamber k of the bellshaped nozzle B.

Z is a spraying-blade secured at itsvrear end in a socket fm, formed in the front of the Wall fi, preferably held in position by means of the set-screw n, so that it may be detached at will. This blade consists of the securing portion extending into the socket, and the Iiexible portion o extends in front of the aperture j. The blade I form of such material that it may be bent more or less across the path of the liquid-stream issu ing from the aperture j, and bent so that the point of intersection of the stream shall be nearer to or farther from the mouth of said aperture. This might be accomplished by adjusting it in or out of the socket m.

In practice the Huid, being fed under pressure through the tubes A, will be strained through the sieve g, accumulating in the chamber h, and thence be discharged through the aperture j. If the blade Z is entirely detached,.the circular stream will be thrown with Very little spraying eect a considerable distance; but if the blade is inserted and bent across the path of the stream it Will spray the liquid over a greater or smaller amount of space, proportioned to the distance from the mouth of the aperture at .which the stream strikes the blade, and by bending the blade this may be adjusted to any desired extent, so that the stream shall not be thrown vertically up or down. The blade is inclosed within the lbell-mouth nozzle B, which will deiect it in the proper direction, and also protects the nozzle from danger of being iilled with dirt, and also prevents the action of the wind. from striking the stream until after it hasbeen properly sprayed.

What I claim as my invention isl. A sprinkling-nozzle consisting of a flaring mouth having an aperture in the rear thereof and a spraying-blade in the mouth extending in front of the aperture, substantially as described` 2. In a sprinkling-nozzle, the combination, with the nipple and flaring mouth, of a screen secured between the same, and a sprayingblade located within the mouth, substantially as described.

In a sprnklng-nozzle, the Combination, In testimony whereof I affix 1n y signatnre in with the supply -ppe and nipple thereon,

presence of two witnesses. of a flmin" nozzle havinor a rear aperturecl f T ,T wall therei, a screen bemeen the nipple and hn ROB JOSIAH CAD ELT' 5 the nozzle, and a Coupling connecting the \Vi'nesses: nipple and the nozzle, Substantially as de- ARTHUR PHNEY, y scribed. n LINN XV. HULL.
